Elizabeth Baker 1844

~~ An Antique Reproduction ~~

Worked entirely in cross stitch, Elizabeth Baker’s sampler is wonderfully patriotic with its red, white, and blue color palette.  Miss Baker stitched a poignant verse at the top of her sampler, then filled the bottom with a joyous array of motifs including potted flowers, a basket of fruit, fir trees, a bird and a spotted dog.  The whole is surrounded by a cheerful border of red flowers.  But the star of this sampler is the blue Elizabeth chose to use for some of her flowers and baskets ~ wonderful!  The reproduction is stitched on 36 count Lakeside Linen’s Vintage Light Exemplar with a combination of The Gentle Art and Weeks Dye Works threads.
